Im a junior and looking to go to grad school in a few semesters. Im looking to get my doctorate in some sort of Catholic Theology. I know about Franciscan University at Stubenville Ohio and Catholic University of America in DC, but Im just wondering if anyone else knows of any good ones or anything more about these. Im looking for a solid Catholic education.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. Dont badger me about the Catholic Church or about Catholic doctrine. If you think Im a kook then just dont respond please.

The three best Catholic universities in the US are Notre Dame, Georgetown and Boston College.
Other good ones are Holy Cross, Marquette, Fordham and Villanova. There is a bit of a quality gap between the first & second group. There is a big drop off in quality after the second group.
These schools are all better than the ones you list -- though Catholic Unniversity may be better than the second group on the graduate level (in theology).

The Graduate Theological Union at Berkeley, CA has several wonderful seminaries. They have a Franciscan one, and maybe another one, too. I'd recommend that. It's an excellent place, the equivalent of places like Harvard, for seminary work! Plus, if you don't want the seminary aspect, but just a Ph.D. in Theology, UC Berkeley is right there, so you can go there & still take GTU classes. The two coordinate together!!
